When Richard bent down to put the Isolation Box back in place, a corner of his waist was inadvertently exposed, and the things stacked together seemed to be more than a dozen alchemical combination bombs.
Each one was like a grenade, buckled onto Richard's waist bag strap.
If there was someone present who had used Richard's alchemical combination bomb before, he would definitely be amazed at the alchemical bomb hidden on Richard's body.
Not only is the bomb smaller in size, making it easier to carry, but from the outside, it also appears to be inlaid with flame crystals.
That’s right!
Richard made a second improvement to the alchemical combination bomb, adding expensive flame crystals, turning it into a powerful weapon.
Although it is expensive, it also makes the power of the alchemical combination bomb increase dramatically.
It was originally only threatening to beginner-level wizards, but now, after the improvement, it can pose a great threat to advanced-level wizards.
"who?"
Richard scolded, while his eyes were fixed on an oil painting hanging on the wall behind him.
The oil painting is about one meter wide and one and a half meters high. It depicts a lakeside landscape with a blue sky, houses and a lake.
Ever since Heishui appeared in Richard's study, he had been feeling a vague sense of being watched.
Even after he entered his room, he still had this feeling.
At first, Richard thought it was because he had just been attacked and was nervous.
But just after he took out the Nightmare Mirror, this sense of being peeped had a clear fluctuation, and he instantly caught the fox's tail!
"boom!"
Richard controlled a huge black hand and hit the oil painting on the wall.
In an instant, the painting was shattered into pieces! But what was surprising was that there was originally a palm-sized black lake pattern in the painting, but at this moment, it suddenly fell off the painting.
It felt like the lake suddenly came alive, calmly dodged the attack of Richard's big black hand, and moved towards the door at an extremely fast speed.
"Want to run?" Richard looked annoyed.
You've discovered your secret, and you still want to run away?
Richard clenched his palms again, and suddenly, a huge black dark elemental hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed the little bit of black water that was running towards the crack in the door.
Just as the big black hand grasped it, there was a "bang" sound.
There was a slight explosion sound from the big hand, followed by wisps of black smoke.
Richard was stunned for a moment, and immediately opened his hand to take a look.
Sure enough, Blackwater had somehow self-destructed.
After a little thought, Richard immediately walked to the cabinet where the isolation box was hidden, took out the box and hid it on himself.
Obviously, the other party already knew that the Nightmare Mirror was on him and in this room.
If Richard still puts the Nightmare Mirror here, it will no longer be appropriate. - The wine cellar in the basement of the farm.
Mobutu was furious at the moment: "Mattis, you idiot! If it weren't for you, we could have easily sneaked in and got the black mirror."
"Now that this human necromancer knows that the location of the hidden black mirror has been exposed, he will definitely move to another place. It will not be so easy to easily obtain the black mirror anymore!"
Mattis sullenly endured Mobutu's wrath.
Indeed, if Mobutu had not wanted to explain himself, there would have been no need to activate the black water scattered throughout the other party's villa.
Now, not only has the other party taken precautions, but they will also inevitably change the location where the Black Mirror is hidden, making the difficulty of the mission skyrocket.
Because the task that Herala gave herself was only to retrieve the Black Mirror, and she did not say to kill anyone.
In this case, there will naturally be no fighting, and it would be easiest to directly retrieve the Black Mirror.
"Mr. Mobutu, please forgive my recklessness. I am willing to pay two more bottles of pain medicine as an apology." Mattis said after Mobutu scolded for a while.
This made Mobutu pause. He stopped scolding Mattis and seemed to be thinking. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "At least three bottles!"
"Okay! Mr. Mobutu, I still need you to continue to take care of this matter!" Mattis did not give Mobutu a chance to say anything else and agreed directly.
This made Mobutu suddenly not know what to say.
The entire cellar was quiet for a long time.
"Let's wait until midnight before taking action." The deep voice sounded again.
"Sir Emobutu, do you think it is possible for that human undead wizard to move the black mirror to another place?" Mathis asked worriedly after thinking for a while.
Just now, Mattis was thinking about this question. Although Mobutu was very powerful, it was not a problem for him to defeat or even kill the human undead wizard.
However, if the other party moved the Black Mirror, even if he and Mobutu killed the other party, they would not be able to find the Black Mirror, and all their efforts would be in vain.
"Don't worry, Mathis, I've already thought of this."
Three mirrors made of black fog appeared out of nowhere on the ground, monitoring the roof, front door and side door of Fana Villa respectively.
Marty suddenly realized that Mobutu had already monitored Richard's residence.
Although we can't say that every room is monitored, at least we can monitor whether Black Mirror has left the villa in real time. ——Inside Fana Villa in Tug City.
Not long after, Fana came back. In addition to bringing back two teams of fully armed gray dwarf brotherhood guards, she was also accompanied by a first-level high-level wizard.
Richard also recognized the first-level high-level wizard, Angeles whom he had met at the previous party.
Ever since Fingart informed Fana of what had just happened in the villa, Fana immediately planned to return from her residence in Angeles.
As Fana's friend for many years, Angeles naturally wanted to take a look after hearing about this situation.
Under this situation, no one is in the mood to exchange pleasantries.
After some discussion, several people made detailed deployments for the guards of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood. All the guards were divided into two groups, which rotated every half a day and guarded uninterruptedly around the clock.
Plans have been made for various situations.
Although these brotherhood guards are not individually strong, each of them is wearing heavy armor, so it is quite difficult to kill them all at once, and each of them is equipped with a rescue-only flare.
Once the enemy is discovered, everyone around can be notified immediately. Even the gray dwarf headquarters will receive the news first and send personnel over.
However, after Richard briefly described the strange black water he encountered, Angeles suddenly interrupted: "Master Levi, according to your description, this reminds me of the witchcraft of those evil cults. The witchcraft bestowed by these evil gods is generally powerful and sometimes very strange and unpredictable. Even if you are stronger than the cultists, you will often fall into their trap."
"So, the enemies coming this time might be cultists?" Richard said thoughtfully.
In my heart, I raised my alert level again.
Because Richard encountered cultists twice, and their abilities were very strange or powerful.
After having dinner, Richard, Stephanie, Fana and Angeles chatted for a while in a room.
"Levi, is it possible that the other party is just trying to scare us to keep us on edge, and then launch a surprise attack after we relax in a few days?" Fana said.
Richard thought about it and said, "It's possible. Why don't we take turns to rest, but tonight, the four of us will just rest in this room."
"I have a feeling that the other party is most likely to launch an attack today."
After thinking about it, they all agreed with Richard's suggestion.
Slowly, without anyone noticing, a wisp of mist began to rise throughout the villa.
The mist didn't seem to have any special effect, but before long, snoring sounds could be heard throughout the villa.
The guards, who were originally fully armed, were now either leaning or lying down, and had all fallen asleep.
Even Richard and his friends fell asleep.
But after a while, Richard suddenly woke up! When he woke up again, he found that he was the only one left in the room! He clearly remembered that the four of them were together.
Richard rubbed his brows, concentrated his attention, opened the door and walked onto the corridor.
At this moment, he realized that a thin layer of fog had spread all around him. The fog was like a veil, allowing Richard to only see things within a few dozen meters.
If the impact on the field of vision was not serious, then what surprised Richard was that all the guards who had been arranged to cover the entire villa were gone at this moment.
The entire villa was empty, giving people the feeling that it was a haunted house. Apart from Richard, there was no one else, and it was eerily quiet.
Richard walked to the room next door that originally belonged to Stephanie and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Considering his familiarity with Stephanie, Richard simply turned the doorknob, opened the door, and walked in.
I saw that all the items in the room were neatly arranged and very clean, but the biggest problem was that there was no one in the room.
Richard walked out of Stephanie's room quickly. This time he came to Fana's room and knocked on the door. No one answered, so he went in directly. Still no one was there.
The same goes for the rest of the people's rooms.
Unconsciously, Richard arrived at the garden. He heard a faint call in his heart, as if he should go in this direction.
This feeling Suddenly, Richard raised his head and looked at the roof of the villa. He just felt a malicious prying.
Some kind of creature that was hostile to him looked at him from the corner of the roof, and then disappeared.
This immediately startled Richard.
After thinking for a moment, the green inverted pentagram formation under Richard's feet flashed, and a huge monster appeared in front of Richard. It was the vengeful abomination.
After the vengeful abomination arrived here, it sniffed around and its little eyes seemed confused for a moment, but soon, it seemed to realize something and actually signaled Richard to follow it.
“Boom boom!”
The vengeful abomination strode ahead, heading in the direction where Richard had felt the call before.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past the two of them again.
This time, Richard's keen dynamic vision captured the other person's appearance.
It turned out to be a gray octopus, about the same height as an ordinary person. It moved on the ground at an extremely fast speed relying on its eight tentacles.
Richard was startled, but this is on land! It seems that he might be in a strange space, or a dream? Suddenly, the little hand of the evil spirit on his back waved the iron chain and threw it at the octopus monster with a "swish", but the other party easily dodged it.
The other party dodged and disappeared into the fog again.
The evil spirit did not get discouraged and continued to move forward.
As he walked, Richard found himself following the vengeful abomination and slowly leaving the main street of Tug City and heading out of the city.
Let’s just call this place Tug City.
At least, the entire street outline and city planning are exactly the same as the Tug City that Richard knew.
The only difference was that the entire city was empty. Apart from Richard, the vengeful abomination, and the octopus monster that suddenly appeared, there was no other person or creature.
Suddenly, two dark shadows flashed ahead.
This time, Richard could still see clearly that the original octopus monster had turned into two, and from the appearance, they looked almost exactly the same.
This immediately made Richard feel more and more terrified.
Just like before, this time the two octopus monsters spied on themselves and the evil spirit from a distance, and then disappeared without a trace again.
After walking out of the city gate, Richard felt that this feeling of being watched became stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, the fog in front dissipated, the entire space became much clearer, and a tall two-story farm villa appeared at the end of Richard's sight.
But what made Richard's scalp tingle was that the large area of land in front of the two-story farm villa was densely packed with those octopus monsters! Hundreds and thousands!
As if they had sensed a stranger coming to this area, all the octopus monsters turned to look at Richard in unison.
His eyes were fixed on Richard!
In an instant, the whole scene gave Richard a creepy feeling.
Richard quickly hid behind the evil spirits and avoided the direct gazes of these octopus monsters.
The next second, a rustling sound was heard, and all the octopus monsters waved their tentacles and rushed towards Richard.
Richard took one look and thought to himself, "Not good!"
He immediately took out two optimized alchemical bombs mixed with fire crystals from his arms and threw them in the direction of the octopus monster group.
“BOOM BOOM!!”
Followed by two loud explosions.
Two huge mushroom clouds with a diameter of about ten meters suddenly rose at the explosion point.
The shock wave after the explosion easily turned dozens of octopus monsters into exploding octopuses! The smell of roasted octopus tentacles wafted over!
The originally densely packed group of small octopuses was instantly cleared into two large circles, which immediately made the small octopuses hiss.
Richard's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "It works! Looks like we can continue!"
Richard took out four crystal bombs from his arms again and threw them at the group of small octopuses that surrounded him.
Immediately, the little octopuses scattered and hid away.
For the first time, Richard sensed a hint of fear in the other person's eyes.
At this time, the fears of both parties were exchanged.
